Frank's point about teens liking high contrast themes like babies liking high contrast visuals is so spot on. Hahaha, we all had just logged on emotionally and found Terry jangling his ideals at us. Great episode! Keep em coming!
I started the audio podcast and came here to check out the costumes. I thought you would have thousands of followers. I expected to see seekerpod con tickets 😆 You guys are so good at this! Amazing content I love the podcast!
Aww, thanks Lommy! S&C Con tickets are in the works and will take place in the back room at a to-be-announced Outback Steakhouse. Covers (1) bloomin’ onion and a “Crocktail TM” per guest
Thank you SO much!! This is the nicest message to get and so happy you came over to look at the costumes 😂 So honored that you assumed we were a bigger podcast hahaha ... we are stupid small. But we have a very active and dedicated group of people who tune in which makes up for it, for sure. I think the content might be too niche to ever get big, but we very much appreciate all of you who enjoy it!!
The light is fading outside of County Joe’s Slopperia as Frank softly takes Julien by the wrist, “No, you have to flick it, like this.” Julien smiles bravely, as he releases the yo-yo and it finally, _finally_ , spins back, love blossoming deeper than the Fjords he swam as a child. At last, he could step out of the slick black shadow of his father’s pull. At last, he could be the master of his own string. Terry’s lack of world building really hurts the book. Things like Richard needing to hide he is from the Midlands, could have been sprinkled into some conversations a dozen chapters ago, when it narratively would have made sense as they came out of the boundary. Or the hair length for women lore could have been weaved in at the Queen’s court with some servant or duchess that let it grow too long (Lumholtz? 😂). But he never world builds so he is forced to drop in these things last minute and its clunky. If Richard says propaganda doesn’t exist in the Westlands, I’m inclined to believe him. Michael specifically told him there wasn’t. The boys of Horner’s Mill got poll-rocked for parity? I am so fascinated that Terry wrote this very adult book, that we all appreciated more as teenagers. I’m also fascinated that my mom read this first and then recommended it to me. 😂 Even with her Confessor’s face on, Kahlan would be very sombre and delicate when recounting this, and it would have a better effect. Mother Wikipedia isn’t working for me. Brophy Lore Dump incoming. Of all the wayward pines in all the Westlands you walk into mine? The Confessor powers definitely develop. It would have made more sense if when they first got their power, they couldn’t fully control it in their sleep, or really at all, and it made it a particularly dangerous time to be around them. But slowly they got used to it, so it became more like breathing. It also would make more sense if it went off during nightmares or other vivid dreams. There are so many holes in the Confessor power, which would be less of an issue if it wasn’t a main driving force for the conflict in Richard and Kahlan’s relationships and the backbone of the entire social-political system of the world, and a main influence in world History, and a huge crux in resolving the plot... Obviously, Richard should be played by Chris Pratt. (please don’t block me).
I have so much questions about the lore of the book. Like how Confessors are giving birth without harming anyone? Why they are not confessing their own children? Why Kahlen keeps mentioning that she was born with her powers, if she got it later?
I had totally overlooked the birth thing, that's so true ... how ARE they doing that? I'm sure there's some "the magic of the new baby prevents them from being Confessed" reasoning behind it. SO many questions 😂
Thank you for another episode!! I am so excited for a Legend of the Seeker watch through!! (I hate Kahlan's dress in it, it's totally wrong. And Richard is tiny haha)
For the longest time, I was so sure I wanted to get married in an exact replica of that dress 🙈 hahaha Is it the elbow capes? Those are load-bearing capes, integral for structural stability and safety, so really, they had no choice lol
@@cynthiasec in the books, the Confessor dress has a square neckline that I'm pretty sure is no cleavage showing. Is is some sort of silky fancy cloth that shows of Kahlan's perfect body and Richard is always losing his mind when she wears it lol but the show had some sort of corset top thing that didn't vibe with me. Elbow capes are fine though, the dress was flowy and elegant, so elbow capes make sense!! 😂 Also I can see a younger person wanting a wedding dress like it tbh, although it is an interesting vibe to want to get married in the murder dress lolol
@@CaptainAirycait’s interesting to make it have a square neckline and no cleavage (like a nuns habit) but also make it form fitting… unless Kahlan just happened to fill it out because she’s more bodacious then the wizards of yore accounted for?
@@FrankAlbergo I think Kahlan fills it out a bit more than planned lol, I feel like the Mother Confessor wearing white while all the other gals wear black is also interesting. Like the white seems to have this not quite see through but also kinda shows things off quality. And yes, the whole neck line thing is interesting but it's written in multiple places that's what it looks like.
@@SeekerConfessorPod same!! This is why my husband couldn't like the book though, he didn't like them enough. He'd complain about the book and I'd be like...but don't you love Richard and Kahlan though? 🥺
@@SeekerConfessorPod When I used to post a lot more online about outdoor stuff I feel like some men were weirdly like dang that's hot when we were discussing things like knives, traps/snares, fire making, etc. Most bushcrafty/primitive skills people are super respectful. A common thing though is many of them wished over and over again that their wives/girlfriends were into those things more in a way that just didn't make sense in my brain. Like, do you involve her/show her these things?? She might be able to do them if someone showed her the ropes?? Idk lol.
@@CaptainAiryca That is soooo interesting and I guess not that surprising now that you've said it. I think there is something inherently attractive about self sufficiency that probably is coming into play (not that these are normal reactions to write on anyone's regular ass UA-cam videos lol). But I think Richard would be VERY attracted to self sufficiency as well ... given his whole arc lol. TOTALLY know what you mean though in terms of like ... can you please just talk to your wives and stop projecting things onto me .. please .. 😭
@@SeekerConfessorPod Yes!! It's the self sufficiency thing for sure. Richard is absolutely the slightly mainsplainy but generally helpful woodsman for sure. I'd enjoy chatting with him about all the bushcrafty things.
Terry crosses the line with the sexual assault stuff. It feels uncomfortable almost like you're being assaulted with the information vs presented in a way that you can think "wow these guys are evil". But noooo it's like the evil things are kinda thrown at you in this way that feels.... wrong. Idk. I'm sensitive and definitely skimmed some of the parts with descriptions of such things.
Well rounded John!! How fun!
Frank's point about teens liking high contrast themes like babies liking high contrast visuals is so spot on. Hahaha, we all had just logged on emotionally and found Terry jangling his ideals at us.
Great episode! Keep em coming!
Literally!! Jangling his ideals like those big plastic keys babies play with and we were all like “WOAH” 😭
John's a real Renaissance man
That’s what I was hearing as well

The magic of things falling out of the brain is that you get to reread stuff and it's interesting all over again lol
That is true! I think this podcast would be 50% less fun to do if I hadn't lost all the information 😂

Woah whipped out the whole ass book to check its getting serious lol
We need to consult the text!! 🧐
This is a scholastic endeavor if nothing else 👨🏻🏫👩🏻🏫
I have so much questions about the lore of the book.

Stop I love that you wanted that to be your wedding dress. I get it.

Bridget Regan was a perfect cast for Kahlen imho.
Agreed! She definitely has the look that I was imagining.
Richard and Kahlan always have these "what???" moments that make them look so dumb so Terry can say whatever he wants to say when he wants to.
Funnily he does TOO good of a job making me like Richard and Kahlan that I refuse to accept these dumb moments 😂
@@SeekerConfessorPod same!! This is why my husband couldn't like the book though, he didn't like them enough. He'd complain about the book and I'd be like...but don't you love Richard and Kahlan though? 🥺
We ship Julien and Frank!
Thank you for supporting them!! ♥️🇸🇪♥️
I feel like the confessors power is from birth? But I'm not sure.
I’m gonna do some research on this to discuss on the next episode because I can’t remember at all lol
Richard and Kahlan both being good with kids makes me want them to make babies the entire series lol
If only they weren’t constantly getting yanked away from each other by “conflict” 😒
@@FrankAlbergo seriously!!! Tbh I felt compelled to finish the series just to make sure they were actually going to get to be together lol
Richard is like dang Kahlan snares rabbits and that's hot
Idk I see what he was liking about it personally!

I definitely agree.. there's something about it that jumps out as strange/off to me and I keep trying to put my finger on what it is exactly.
Ew no, not Zedd and Shota that seems wrong somehow lol
AGREED.. do not like the idea lol
"it's not the Westlanders" okay pop off my autistic king sure it's not the Westlanders geez lol
lmaoooo actually just hyper focused on how much it wasn’t the Westlanders
